Iga Swiatek is a really good player and there are things she does similarly to other tennis players but there are also differences.
Two players who played in the Australian Open final are both dominant players who like to attack and hit the ball hard. Swiatek does the same but she's also a great mover which allows her to set up her shots really well. Her serve isn't as dominant but she's working on it.
"I know that I'm not the kind of player who is just going to serve and win points from it, like I'm not Rybakina or Sabalenka. I'm more just kind of player who's gonna put the ball in and win a point by rally. But for sure I'm working on my serve, and I'm trying to get it better and better."
Not having a dominant first serve isn't a huge problem but it's certainly something she could use, particularly when facing someone like Rybakina. Not having a more dominant serve hurt her in that matchup.
"Basically the time after Australia we really focused on getting more rhythm on the first serve, and I guess it worked. But I will see what future is gonna bring. We'll see, yeah."
